Back in time a few hours ago, after Boom ordered Perseus to go out of the city to look for Rikka, he walked around the Alchemy City with Christine and Hastur. For that little girl Rikka, Boom had a close feeling. Due to blind trust, and in the years that the two have been together, Rikka has already transformed from the silly girl she was originally to a strong person who can defend the top.
Boom has never worried about Rikka's safety, or if Rikka is really killed by someone, he will never live in this world. The brother and sister get along day and night in life, and they will walk together in death.
"Then where should we go now? Should we go back to the courtyard, or go shopping somewhere?" Boom asked softly as he looked at the endless flow of people in front of him.
After breaking through that inner demon, Boom became more virtuous and relaxed. At least there was no longer a dark cloud between his brows, and he no longer habitually viewed the world as a "poor".
"Oh? Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. In this case, we might as well go to the slums of Alchemy City and see if you have really let go of your former identity."
Christine is now half of Boom's mentor, and as a mentor, she naturally wants to verify whether Boom's words are true.
"What my sister said is absolutely true. I will lead the way right now. It's just that the slums are a mixed bag, so I hope you two can be careful in your words and actions."
Hastur's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this. He and Perseus were deceived in the slums of Alchemy City before, and even killed each other. Although only Rikka knew about this matter, Hastur But he still seemed a little uneasy.
Kristine raised her beautiful eyes when she saw this, and her bright red eyes looked directly at Hastur, as if they could penetrate the other person's soul. Hastur lowered his head unnaturally, and then quickly led the way for the two of them.
"Don't you ask him what's going on? After all, he is your only relative. If it were me, I would have to let him explain honestly."
More than half an hour later, Boom was sitting on the bench, waiting for Hastur to buy snacks, and asked with a smile. He was actually very curious, wondering why this always cautious soul butterfly was so out of sorts today. He looks like that, even anyone, let alone Christine, can tell that something is wrong.
"Everyone has their own private space. As long as it's not a matter of principle, I'm not interested in knowing."
"Hasta is my younger brother, and as a sister, there is no reason to pry into my younger brother's privacy."
Christine sat at the other end of the bench and replied with a smile. However, the elegance of her gestures made many poor goblins stay in place.
Because none of the three people liked noisy scenes, but at the same time they had no intention of returning to the courtyard, so the three of them came to the slums of Alchemy City.
"Where is the place opposite? Not to mention that the goblins who believe in the old gods will also build a monastery in their main city. If that is the case, my view of the goblins may change slightly."
Boom reached out and took the roast beef skewers from Hastur, and then asked. I saw that the exterior of the building not far away was mottled, and all the goblins coming in and out were in ragged clothes, and many of them even seemed to be suffering from serious diseases.
.
This kind of place once again brought back Boom's memories. It was the place where Boom lived for more than ten years. It looked exactly like the Royal City Monastery.
"Lord Boom, this is not a monastery, but a relief center in Alchemy City."
"But it is probably the same as the 'monastery' you mentioned. It is ostensibly to save the poor, but in fact it is just a product of the nobles showing their 'mercy'."
Hastur carefully brought a bowl of mushroom porridge to Christian, and then explained the origin of the building opposite. However, he never dared to look at Boom, just like a thief stealing the other person's property. "It's just a change of name, but no matter what the reason is, at least it can give the poor goblins a place to shelter from the wind and rain, even if there is no black rainy night in the alien continent."
Boom nodded after hearing this, seeming to appreciate this behavior. But after the previous transformation, now there is no longer that loneliness and sadness in his eyes, replaced by the calm and scrutinizing attitude of a strong man.
When Christine saw this, she gave a few words of praise. This mixed-blood elf archmage never liked to praise anyone, and the more people she cared about, the more stringent her standards were.
"It's good that you have this idea, but the inner demons vary from person to person, ranging from zero to thousands. You still have a long way to go in the future. If there is anything you can't understand, you can tell me
Ask."
"And I also have inner demons, be it my former lover, the Whispering Forest, or the true identity of my parents. Those are all things that I need to overcome alone, but compared to you, I have nothing."
The instructor' has some advice."
Christine gradually returned to her usual sharp-tongued demeanor. These words left Boom speechless and could only respond with a wry smile.
Boom already knew these things, and he had secretly discussed them with Rikka many times. But in the end, Boom discovered that, as the other party said, only he could solve it.
"I don't know how many inner demons I have, but the Principality of Cisse is definitely one of them." A cold light flashed across Boom's eyes, but this expression was an emotion he rarely showed. p>
"I am an orphan and have witnessed countless despicable things. Therefore, "life" in my eyes is nothing more than the value of gold coins."
"I don't know if this idea is correct, and I don't know if I can reach the top in the future with this idea. But this is me, and I never want to betray myself."
If Boom's original character was to be followed, he would definitely go to the relief shelter across the street. However, after breaking through his inner demons, he seemed to have no intention of getting up at the moment.
"Do you feel that you are getting further and further away from your former self, or even running counter to you? This is the sharp change that every strong person will experience, and it is the only way to reach the peak."
"If you don't break or establish, you are better than me today, because my inner demon has never dissipated, and it is like a shackle that binds my soul every moment."
"For me, every time I break through an inner demon, I will break away from some of the limitations of the peak realm and advance a small step to a higher level. And for you, that is the beginning of reaching the peak realm." Christine took a few mouthfuls of mushroom porridge, but finally threw it into the trash can. As an elegant mixed-race elf, she really couldn't stand the burning eyes of passers-by.
Boom sighed, not knowing what else to say. His only goal is to advance to the peak realm, because that is the only reward he can get to repay Rikka for spending his life force, and it is the only direction in which he can work hard.<
/p>
The night in the slums seemed a bit cold. Pedestrians coming and going were either "returning with a full load" or still looking for the "financier" of dinner. As for the relief center not far away, it always emitted a dim yellow light, but this
The light is mixed with endless decadence and depression, and there is also a hint of death.
"Sister, Lord Boom, who is our target tonight? I can use my secret technique to assassinate him right away!" Although Hastur seems to be very smart on weekdays, he is actually only born not long ago. Naturally,
I can’t understand the hidden conversation between Boom and Christine.
Boom was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he shook his head with a wry smile and motioned to Hastur to just sit down. Christine pointed to the Alchemy City relief center not far away, and then threw him another money bag.
.
Under the bright moon, Boom, Christine, and Hastan walked towards the small courtyard together, seemingly without any intention of wandering around. At the same time, Rikka and Perseus had already crossed the city gate, but
However, the master and servant ran towards the night market, seemingly forgetting that there were three companions who were still thinking about them.
In the night, a goshawk "mercilessly" lifted its baby out of the nest. The baby bird howled at first and fell quickly, as if it would die as a result. But a few seconds later, its efforts were rewarded. Although its wings
Not yet full, but still awakened to the potential of flying.
